Hyde Name Origins.

The name "HYDE" is derived from the hide, a measure of land for taxation purposes, taken to be that area of land necessary to support a peasant family. In later times it was taken to be equivalent to 120 acres .

The Werneth

The Werneth 1906.

The Werneth has changed very little in the last 100 years.

In the 1960's a band called the "Temperance 7" was a chart topping group. They played 1920s-style jazz music . The trumpet player ,Cephas "Captain, Cashiered" Howard lived in the Werneth at the time. Their biggest hit was "You're Driving Me Crazy" which hit the number 1 spot in 1961.Groovy man!

Tom, Dave, Paul and I would like to say thank you to everyone for contributing to this blog in some small way - even if that means just reading it! It's been more of a success than we could ever have dreamt of and that's all down to you ! It was our intention to get Hyde "on the record" as it were and it seems to be heading in the right direction. We are very proud of Hyde and would like it's history to live on!
